What should you be doing right now?

We are changing outsourced Applications Management companies next week and I am in the process of moving the users who are transferring between the copanies. I have whopped up a nice script that does it all and I have six screens open with data and bits of AD flying everywhere.

I look seriously busy.

Thats what TR does to us ...

I should be adding new websites to the search engine (what the heck ... I am down to one-fifth of the ticket queue size) and doing a couple other things that I have been putting off since Monday ...

Maybe I will do it on Monday .... or will I?? :D

]:)

you can't work & TR at the same time? =-)

I flip back and forth throughout the day. I've always been a multi-multi-tasker.

P.S. How many ppl here pay for the TechProGuild membership?

I only work one weekend (three or four days) a
month. I can cover three months mortgage
payments in one weekend do the rest goes into
new computers,and the max for the 401K. I'm
almost always home during the week and play TAXI
for a daughter who doesn't drive. The wife works
day shift hours and I can't see doing it any
other way. I fish to relax and escape the
big noise of the city. I can drive thirty
minutes and a short 45 minute bike ride gets
me to absolute silence and a relaxing spot
on the shore of a lake where 6 and 7 pound
rainbow trout have been taken. I don't care
if I catch anything, but love playing games with
a very large (8 pounds) bass that likes to
play games with my bait and refuses to take
any, even live caterpillars. I can go all day
without hearing the sound of a crying baby,
screeching brakes, horns and sirens. PEACE

Seriously. I'm dead tired, sicker than a dog.

But here I am in cube world trying to figure out why the deployment folder for Crystal Reports 10 Runtime is missing a file.

Which file, I dunno. But missing one none the less!!

fixing a malware infested system. Matter of fact, I AM fixing it!

I usually have two to three project going at once, and still find ample time to post while processes are running! And i STILL get more accomplished by the end of the day, because I DO have a few things going at once. Line them up and knock them down!

NOTE, this system is more of a mess than I have seen in a long time..... time to dive into safe mode!

Enjoy that weekend Shell!

I should be working on a daily report of database and app changes as found by my custom monitoring. I need to do another security assessment of another server and write a report on that.

I too have several windows open and get several things done at once. I am always monitoring several production servers. However, I cannot post a lot or I would loose my train of thought on what I am SUPPOSED to be doing.

the sun is up, I should be asleep like any sane human being should be.

while I am on the phone helping a user remember their user name and password (for the 40th time), I am usually reading or posting on TR. I have a kind of mindless job sometimes and tend to work on auto pilot most of the day with two or three browser windows open at a time, my office and cell phone ringing, the fax machine going and people walking in and out of the office for help.

I should be doing dishes and cleaning and putting together the baby's new highchair, and uploading remote reporting files, and backing up the files on my computer so I can reformat... amazin

Opensource frequently RESULTS in free (or donate if you think it's cool) software, but does not necessarily MEAN free. It's kinda like that whole "just because it's an automobile, doesn't mean it's a Honda" thing.

I should be sleeping. It's not looking good tonight, perhaps tomorrow..

Um, I'm doing what I am supposed to be...waiting for the 2nd member of the tech crew to get here to backup the early shifter before I leave to go to patch some software.

Yippie...18 minutes of free time. There goes my 15 minute break, eh?
